This article will understandably ruffle some feathers but hear me out. The recent viral video of a monorail door remaining open on virtually the entire ride through the Epcot loop has sparked some serious debate online. Nearly everywhere you looked on every article, the responses were pretty similar: “the monorails are outdated!”. Which may be
Sometimes you have to scratch your head. In an article posted to The Disney Blog website, a writer asks the question: “If you run a pie shop where you have 8 slices of pie and a line outside the door with 10 people in it. What do you do?” What the author was referring to
“Please Stand Clear of the Doors” isn’t just a cute phrase you can put on a t-shirt anymore. It can also be life-saving. On a recent trip to Walt Disney World, one of the monorail doors opened on monorail red while making the Ticket and Transportation Center to Epcot loop. Two videos were posted to
In September 2017, Ellen Degeneres put out a notice looking for her animatronic in Ellen’s Energy Adventure. Unfortunately, no one has been able to track down her robotic likeness.
